SMD rework station built for reliability, accuracy and ease-of-use
14 July 2004Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
All Magnum temperature control stations are built with the latest industry standard technologies to keep them affordable, easy to set up, and easy to maintain, says the local distributor. The Magnum 3005 temperature-control station is precision-engineered to perform on-demand for all SMD rework and repairs.
Magnum's hot air pencil is state-of-the-art, designed for easy removal of the components, while the company's soldering iron is used for their replacement. Both the temperature range and percentage of airflow are accurately monitored and adjusted on-demand. The PCU (portable configuration unit) is a storage device for downloading parameters from a PC onto the station. It locks in all parameters, including an energy saving mode. The PCCU (portable configuration and calibration unit) automatically calibrates the hot air pencil and soldering iron to an accurate certified source.
Performance features
The Magnum 3005 is microprocessor-controlled and uses the Magnum 1005's 85 W hot air pencil with an air flow control button. It comes with 1,5 mm round and 3 mm flat hot air nozzles. The additional Magnum 1002's 80 W soldering iron comes with a fine soldering tip and two cast iron spring stands. It is equipped with a soft grip, moulded safety power cord and an SMD removal kit.
Key features: 1,5 to 6,5 litres/m air flow; 100 to 450°C (±4°C) soldering iron temperature; 180 to 480°C (±10°C) hot air pencil temperature; 24 V, 85 W + 24 V 85 W AC output power; 220-240 V, 0,6 A mains input; measures 250 x 250 mm - 105 mm high; and 4 kg in weight.
The SMD rework station also has the ability to diagnose faults, switch into energy-saving mode; and self-calibrate to precise standards.
Future
As techniques, equipment and materials continually change, the company constantly works to be ahead with 'next-generation' products and processes. The newest addition to the Magnum product line is a 50 W, 24 V micro soldering iron that is expressly-designed for small and delicate work. It can be used (exclusively) with the Magnum 2002, 2004 and 3005 workstations. In response to customer needs, the company will soon unveil its first freestanding solder pot with controls for precise temperature, which is built specifically for dipping wires and small assemblies.
All Magnum soldering products can be used with the latest lead free solders.
